Inventor: BUNDY DONALD D
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: Computerized systems and methods for initiating, creating, managing, and securitizing loans and other credit programs electronically are disclosed.  Loan securitization pools that can be subscribed to by a plurality of lenders are electronically defined and established. The loan securitization pools comprise loans from a plurality of lenders, and are created according to optimizing a plurality of loan features, thereby maximizing the potential conversion value of the loans therein. Optimization techniques are disclosed for establishing the loan securitization pools with pre-defined sets of loan characteristics, such that the loan securitization pools have an easily analyzed worth and will not be discounted when converted to cash. The systems and methods provide lenders with equal opportunity access to a plurality of loan securitization pools, such that the lenders can subscribe to various loan securitization pools, and within each loan securitization pool, subscribing lenders are equally provided loan securitization opportunities on a rotating basis. Computerized systems and methods for simultaneously managing multiple securitization pools are also disclosed. Lenders can re-allocate loans into secondary loan pools when the loans become ineligible for primary loan pools.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining the antibiotic susceptibility of a microorganism comprising the following steps. First, a culture of the microorganism whose susceptibility is to be determined is admixed with an antibiotic to which susceptibility is to be assayed, and a permeabilizing agent for the microorganism present in a non-growth-inhibiting microorganism-permeabilizing effective amount to form an assay culture. Next, the assay culture is incubated under appropriate culture conditions and for a time sufficient to determine the susceptibility of the microorganism to the antibiotic. In another aspect, the present invention provides an improved method for antibiotic susceptibility testing of a microorganism in a culture by admixing the culture with an antibiotic to which susceptibility is to be assayed, and incubating the culture for a time sufficient to determine the susceptibility of the microorganism to the antibiotic, the improvement comprising admixing the culture with a permeabilizing agent for the microorganism present in a non-growth inhibiting microorganism-permeabilizing effective amount.

Patent CA-2501603-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARKOWITZ SAMUEL N
IPC: G02B5/04
Filed: 2005-03-21
Abstract: An annular prism capable of causing light (or other radiation) to either converge or diverge is defined by an annulus of material which is transparent to the light (or other radiation). The annulus tapers radially towards either its outer periphery or its central aperture. If the annulus tapers towards its outer periphery, light converges.  If the annulus tapers towards its central aperture, light diverges. The degree of tapering determines the degree of convergence or divergence. A cross section of the annulus formed by a plane containing a principal axis of the annulus viewed on only one side of the principal axis may have a triangular shape. In some embodiments, a segment of the annulus may be missing, resulting in a penannular prism which causes light (or other radiation) to converge or diverge about the principal axis of the incomplete annulus for some angular measure less than 360 degrees.
